Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin - Reinhard II of Buchholz 1557 from Abbey of Corvey (German States) is that it features a unique combination of religious and secular symbols. The obverse side of the coin depicts Reinhard II, the Abbot of Corvey, in a monk's habit, while the reverse side shows the coat of arms of the Abbey of Corvey, which includes a cross and a lion. This blending of religious and secular imagery reflects the complex relationship between the church and state during the Renaissance period.
